    As a member of the “global village”, an international leader should master various skills. One of the primary things international leaders need today is the ability to manage cultural differences. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}. So in order to get the best out of any multicultural team, leaders should keep the following tips in mind.

    {#blank#}2{#/blank#}

    Try and communicate with your team face to face as much as you can. Nothing replaces face-to-face communication, as it allows you to read body language, judge levels of understanding, and build relationships.

    While your teen may get by OK by waiting until the last possible second to complete his high school science experiment or his math project, procrastination (拖延症) can be a big problem later in life. Your teen's future boss or college professors aren't likely to accept late work-- or the excuses that accompany delayed projects. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}That means managing his time wisely without requiring constant reminders of assistance from you to get his work done. Here are some steps you can take to teach your teen essential time management skills:

Teach him to schedule his day so he can set aside time for chores, homework, and other responsibilities. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}Then, time doesn't idly pass without feeling like he hasn't done anything fun.

    Help your teen prioritize( 划分优先顺序) activities. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}A basketball game and birthday party may coincide. Talk to your teen about how to prioritize activities, based on his values and commitments.

    Avoid nagging (唠叨). It can be annoying to nag your teen or offer repeat reminders. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}Set rules about your expectations and follow through with consequences when necessary. Then, your teen will learn to manage his time better in the future.

    It's important to learn how we can protect the environment. Here are 5R rules for us.

    Reduce. If you want to reduce waste, you should use things more wisely.{#blank#}1{#/blank#} If everyone uses paper carelessly, soon we would not have any trees left. Other things are also being wasted, and people don't know what to do with the waste in big cities. So it is necessary to reduce the amount of waste we produce.

    Reuse. You should always think of reusing things before throwing them out. For example,{#blank#}2{#/blank#}. In a family, you may pass on such clothes to younger brothers or sisters.

    Recycle. Bottles, cans and paper can easily be recycled. By doing so we can save lots of time and money. For example,{#blank#}3{#/blank#}. The metal can be used to make new coke cans.

    Recover.{#blank#}4{#/blank#}. You have two choices: one is to throw the apples away, the second is to throw the rotten ones and keep the good ones. In this way, you are recovering the eatable parts of food.

    Repair. If one of the legs of your table is broken, you should repair it. If you want to buy something newer and better, it is better for you to sell the old table, or {#blank#}5{#/blank#}Learn the rules to protect our environment.

    Unless you think you're the smartest, who doesn't want to be smarter? Of course I want to be smarter too. So I try to find out who's the real smart guy that maybe I can learn from.{#blank#}1{#/blank#}

    ▲ They probably do social media. Not always, but probably.{#blank#}2{#/blank#} They also use this to ensure they can feed their brains with things they otherwise wouldn't have come across.

    ▲ {#blank#}3{#/blank#} They never bother their head about the problem of "work-life balance" and somehow manage to seem 100% engaged in what they're doing, on all fronts simultaneously(同时), even though you know they're taking appropriate steps behind the scenes to make sure their lives are well balanced.

    ▲ They know they are the smartest in the room, but they don't spend much time talking about that.{#blank#}4{#/blank#} That is, they challenge themselves to make everyone else in the room the smartest person too.

    ▲ They never, ever, under any circumstances, make you look stupid, even though it would be easy to do so. They've learned through bitter experience that the only thing that happens when you make someone look bad is that you look bad yourself.

    Think positive

    How are you feeling today? If your head's in a spin because you've had a bad night's sleep, or maybe you've just got too much to do, the chances are you're not in the best of moods. If everything seems like an effort and you have a negative attitude, the last thing you want to be told is to be positive! {#blank#}1{#/blank#}

    Of course, developing a positive attitude is easier said than done. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} When you're feeling down, it is hard to be optimistic. But a study in the US has found that people who are optimists are more likely to live longer than those who have a more negative approach to life. So, maybe the thought of a longer life might encourage you to have a more hopeful outlook on life.

    {#blank#}3{#/blank#} Professor Lewina Lee from Boston University School of Medicine, who worked on the study, told the BBC that: "Our findings speak to the possibility that raising levels of optimism may promote longevity and healthy ageing." And she advises that pessimists could benefit from doing things like imagining a future where everything turns out well.

    {#blank#}4{#/blank#} Vicki Siska says "Music feeds my soul. A sense of humour keeps things in perspective." And Pippa Kennedy says" being grateful for what you have — and lots of chocolate —helps!" {#blank#}5{#/blank#} That's probably why other people have recommended doing yoga as well as staying fit and healthy to help maintain a positive outlook on life.

A. It doesn't come naturally to everyone.

B. As we know, every coin has two sides.

C. But being positive could have more benefits than you think.

D. Pessimists tend to give up when facing difficulties.

E. The saying goes that a healthy body leads a healthy mind.

F. People have been giving their personal advice on keeping a positive approach to life.

G. The study concluded that optimists may find it easier to control emotions and get less stressed.
